Notes About The Poem

a poeisis inspired by poetry of Paul Eluard

EASTERTIDE week 3

Simplicity
   for today
in the light
of His existence.
invisible but liberating

everything
that separates
     man from self
in
a  permanent home
avoiding
abandonment

   discovering
things
forward
  backwards
collections
of
cataclysms
reign forever

dying
 silent
valid

the desire to live
sheltered
from the storms
a
normal existence
intelligence
&a skill
sans
risk
on
this mysterious
path
bitterness
dies

 a way back
for
inhabitants
outside
 of themselves

motionless
a
place of eternity
glimmers
 glimpsed
for a moment
then hidden
but
He is
 still alive
to those
   who
turn back

& confess

 will find Him
&
see the reality
of
      I am
in whom
the new life flows
 to
the reborn

a chance
 of new birth
necessary
for
the living
to
 see the light
